Overall Rating: 8.9/10

Initial Thoughts

Curio's Exclusive line is where Maryland's biggest grower runs its most interesting selections, and Scotch & Soda is the new pour. We grabbed ours at Dispensary Works in White Plains, where the Exclusive jars have been moving like happy hour.

Appearance

Chunky, well-cured hybrid buds in bright and olive greens under heavy frost, amber pistils woven through like bitters in the glass.

Status

Fresh batch, perfect cure. This one lists at 37.41% total THC - top-shelf numbers for a flower this smooth.

Aroma

Lemon-peel brightness and a sweet, sodawater fizz up top; underneath, an oaky, almost barrel-aged warmth that justifies the name outright.

Flavor

Citrus and cream on the inhale, toasted wood and gentle spice on the exhale. Polished is the word - nothing harsh anywhere in the glass.

Lineage

Scotch & Soda by Curio Wellness is a hybrid cannabis strain with a lineage crossed from Banana Punch GMO # 2 and Lil Miss HS.

Effects

Opens happy and conversational - a genuine social high - then relaxes by degrees into easy evening comfort. Strong enough to respect, smooth enough to share. The arc of a good cocktail, without the morning after.

Conclusion

Scotch & Soda is the Exclusive program working as intended: a flower you can't cross-shop, poured neat. Dispensary Works has it on the shelf - order a round.
